Sambob - What are you on?!?!? Worst bands in rock history?!?


Well, why not? Aerosmith is just a joke in my book. Just another of the many bands that took all the great work prog rock bands did in the early 70s... and proved it was all for nothing (the public still wanted ****ty music, as was proved by the popular rock bands just a few years later).

Your point being... you were too immature and irresponsible to value an education?!?! The fact you can say that without a shred of shame is pretty sad.

I meet people like this all the time, people who didnt go to uni so they are bitter and resentful to those who did. They try to know things you dont know and beat you at stuff just so they can say "Ha! and he goes to uni!?!?" :rolleyes:

Excuse me for tryna make sumin of myself! Slag off my grammar all you like!

The tone of this post was meant to be melodramatic :)
"without a shred of shame"? What post were you reading? I said I regret that omission.

"too immature and irresponsible to value an education?!?!" Mea culpa (see above).

"Excuse me for tryna make sumin of myself! Slag off my grammar all you like!" Noted. You're not there yet, nobby. It's a long journey!

I didn't read all the crap that comes with a massive thread like this but my opinion is Hendrix. They're both blues based. With respect to technique it's Hendrix and with respect to catchy radio tunes that I love it's whatever his name is. One of them died when it was corporately wise and the other guy probably should be. I mean, anybody can play an aerosmith solo by ear and not so much a hendrix one.

However, aerosmith is classic rock, hendrix more psychodelic rock (spelling probably). Aerosmith is more mainstream but that could go to either side of the argument.

I'm sorry for beating a dead horse, but dependent clauses exist in the UK and the US. I know it's hard not to be stubborn, but please understand that this is NOT a matter of opinion. This is a grammatical rule which I do not like to see broken. The clause before "He's an awesome guitarist" is dependent; you MUST use a comma.

You cant see any similarities with Perry and Hendrix?!? Cos I can!
And why not compare them. The post was meant to illustrate more than anything that Perry is extremely underrated!
